Chapter 49

• Aurélie POV
• I followed the satnav through an hour of empty roads until it led me to a human industrial estate, the kind of bland concrete sprawl we had near the Darkvale pack grounds. Familiar in structure, unfamiliar in purpose.
• This was the same cluster of buildings where I’d once secured the medical equipment for my pack. The warehouse had been close, the owner even closer to persuasion. A bit of charm, a touch of pressure, and suddenly I was one of his most valued clients valuable enough that he insists on taking me out to dinner every quarter.
